My personal take is do some comfort sides you can handle and let the others bring what thay want. In the end it is about togetherness not turkey At somepoint you age and disabilities need respect. Want turkey - bring it. My two cents. I;ve lost enough people to respect that next year the talke may be smaller.

Goes well with everlasting cucumbers;

I often cook rice with coconut milk/cream. Was the palm sugar cooked with or stirred in?

As I posted and linked Turkish cuisine is in Muddle East & Arica https://forums.egullet.org/forum/329-middle-east-amp-africa-cooking-amp-baking/

@blue_dolphin Ooh nice combo. What is your secret for the gorgeous jammy eggs

I've been ordering ground elk from Wild Fork at suggestion by KennethT. Getting ready to order again. I really enjoy it.

Sure the hacked chick was more enjoyable. The food safety fear was spray from hacking vigourasly?

@Shelby Thanks for sharing that condiment. Salsa just means sauce - so brave bold sauce. All your food looks/sounds so good. Not things I make but would enjoy. I often do a "chowder" like that - simple, comforting, delicious.

I think because in such a prep it becomes flacid.

I don't particularly agree. My maternal side - all good cooks even with the scaled down availability of goods post WW2 . When dad started dating mom they got slipped some meat. He was a butcher in a neutral country but his stuff mostly went out onto black market. But in the 50's and beyond, us kids were seduced by marketing. Those neatly sectioned trays of TV dinners. The OO Spaghettios. We begged. Sometimes mom or aunt would relent. Taste = bland. Nothing one would crave and small portions. We also thought it was "American" and assimilation was a goal. Didn't last long. I point the finger at marketing. I let son have Lunchables but when he saw his Japanese friends and their bento boxes that actually had good stuff we switched. He started cooking of his own volition in high school and does today. Of course working moms will reach for quick helpers but these are not the days of granny at home to help. I don't judge, I just don't do it that way.

I don't recall.Last time I maybe ate hers was well over 40 years ago

Not that. Its emotional. My mom made a great scratch version and I can't bring mysel to tell stepmom how wonderul hers is. She is so insecure if one does not she takes it as a slight. Better to stay away.q

```````````````````` Stepmother makes this constantly though she calls it chicken goulasch - paprika, ton onion and garlic. She does not flour -only saute. Thicken with cr o mushroom can. They like it. Uses stovetop. Hers is quite saucy and she resorts to cornstarch when needs thicker. Sometimrd bit o soy sauce. I do not eat it.

Schlachtefest - slaughter festival - that is certainly acknowledging reality Looks great. What was the new method?

Do you even enjoy origonal ones? The listed nnew types sound horrid. I don't like them at all. Ex loved em but he liked circus peanuts too... I did sometimes put the originals in a bowl at Halloween parties cuz they scream that season, and some enjoy them.. Sorta like Peeps chicks at Easter.

I see people express that "season" here re soups and stews as weather cools, esp hearty ones.. Not my way of eating but common.

My thanks to both @blue_dolphin and @palo After a burn on both hand last week that I keep tearng open . Small hands plus neuropathy - these look perfect.

Oh gosh I just meant that a cream sauce w/or w/o extra cheese is classic.

Not like melted cheese. His description is sea - like and bechamel/ mornay sauce classic with sea critters

The story I shared earlier about the man and beautiul woman w/ cart piled - he said they preserve that way.

I enjoy Cathy. Rite Aid in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We shall see. Childhood memory. Son as well. Interesting local history. https://la.eater.com/2023/10/17/23870912/thrifty-ice-cream-factory-los-angeles-el-monte-rite-aid

My thought as welll. Pricier I used AllClad + dimencions https://www.all-clad.com/d3-stainless-3-ply-bonded-cookware-universal-pan-with-lid-3-quart.html?

Oh they can be a zoo. My son worked security at a lobster one in San Pedro. Discovered the trash disposal guys were making double so he took those slots. OMG - the amount of trash. He had to walk the trash into the 40 yard dumpster, push it all to the rear, and create walls with broken down boxes to maximize speace. Then walk home, strip to boxers and leave smelly Tshirt & shorts in bushes . I think the amount o booze consumed creates a more patient crowd.

Back in the day of our large fishing fleets the Fisherman's Fiesta was a huge deal https://www.palosverdespulse.com/blog/2020/9/12/memories-of-the-san-pedro-fishermens-fiesta-by-marifrances-trivelli-director-los-angeles-maritime-museum I have been to this Strawberry one. There are several https://castrawberryfestival.org/ And the rather famous garlic one in Gilroy https://festivalnexus.com/gilroy-garlic-festival/
